[first] video.

[The network is graced with a video feed that rather suddenly cuts in. On the feed is just someone's eye, right up against the camera, and it's a rather dull or lifeless eye at that. It blinks only once before the rest of this person's face is visible as they draw their head back.

She's a rather strange-looking one, maybe alien-like in appearance, what with her snow white skin and dark green hair. Clearly a newcomer, as she doesn't seem to know what she's doing with this whole bracelet thing.

Well, she doesn't seem very impressed anyway.]

... I am not the only one who has been captured, correct? Or is everyone here a native to this realm?

[ Oh, hello. ]

No! We're not. The only ones who have these bracelets are us non-natives and the gods who brought us here.

[Staaaare. The bracelet talks back.

—Actually, no, wait, that's another person, isn't it?]

I see. Do you know why you are here?

The same reason we're all here. To cure the grey, and help with their war.

Why is this something that we are needed for? As I understand it, this place is ruled by 'gods'... which are meant to be all-powerful beings, are they not?

Not necessarily. That's just what people think they are. These gods are just beings who happen to be gods. Or call themselves gods. Doesn't meant they're all-powerful.

Did they not give you the video guide? [The people at his camps didn't to him. So maybe these people forgot sometimes?]

If I did receive it, I was not aware. Did you?

It should have been the first thing you saw on this. No, but the last place I went to decided I didn't need one. It might have happened.

I suppose it wasn't necessary.

[She waits for a moment. People usually make small-talk, right? Well she doesn't know how to do that but...] And who are you, anyway? I have seen a lot of rather normal-looking people here thus far, and you are one. I was under the impression that those kidnapped to this 'Asgard' are special in some way.

[...well that wasn't that bad.]

It'd answer your questions. That's what it seems to be there for.

[Not that he really read the longer one. And he sort of took forever to read the regular one. He kind of grins at that though.] I'm Percy Jackson and I never thought I'd hear someone say I seem normal. There's a few people here who are normal.

Is that so? At the very least, you seem more normal than I.

And you look more normal than some of the things I've seen. [A shrug.] We're all a bit crazy here.

[ She waves a little bit at the...eye.... ]

I'm not a native. I come from someplace totally different. My name's Annabeth.

I see. Annabeth. [One would notice she sounds like a robot or something, taking in data.]

And why are you here?

Well, I got pulled here for some sort of festival. Believe me, I wasn't exactly planning on taking a side trip.

[He ignores the question, because he knows someone else will get to it. More importantly-]

Heey, what are you? You look really cool.

[—actually she's not sure how to answer that one. Heck if she knows.] I am... cool? What do you mean?

You look really neat, is all! Not like any human or beast-folk I'm familiar with anyway.

[??? She inspects herself for a few seconds.] ...I see. That is strange. Most people find me frightening.

Huh, really? How come? Unless you're hiding a bunch of spikes and horns somewhere, I'm not seeing frightening.

...I have fangs and claws. [Well, it's not the only reason people find her frightening, but if they're just talking physical here...]

Awesome! I've always wanted those, but I'm stuck with boring old human nails and stuff. Are there a lot of people like you where you're from?

I am the only one. [She's starting to learn to not question things like "where you're from". Apparently, in this realm, there are different worlds. Or something like that.]

Really? Did the others get killed off, or are you some kind of mutant?

... I suppose "mutant" is as close as you could get.

Can anyone be so lucky? 'Cause I'd love a pair of fangs. Maybe even several!

Why would you want them?

[ Despite the interesting look of this girl, Penelope's sticking to voice; looking like that and not hiding it is one thing, but hiding your pig nose behind a scarf? That raises questions she'd rather not answer. ]

There are natives here, but anyone you talk to over the bracelet's network is a captive, just like yourself. Unless you're talking to a god.

[Huh, strange, this one has no appearance. It's just sound? Somehow, she figures out how to respond to it accordingly.]

And that obviously means you as well, correct? I suppose I'm beginning to understand this situation better.

Edited 2013-07-16 18:28 (UTC)

Yes, it does. I was brought here about fourteen days ago, although I've heard that time moves differently here than it does back home.

Fourteen days... Have you discovered anything interesting in your days here, however they may be counted?

[ Everything's interesting to her, but that's because it's all practically brand new. She's only been out of her house for a few months. ] Some things, yes. I haven't actually seen any performances, but I stumbled upon Draupnir the other day, over in Freyr. It's quite lovely.

You sound as though you're making a home for yourself here.

I would've preferred to not be kidnapped or held hostage, but I didn't travel much back home; I figure I ought to enjoy this to any extent that I possibly can.

I find that to be an admirable trait. Some people may be driven insane by this sort of situation.

Unfortunately, that's very true. Hopefully it's the minority, though, for their sake.
